Hi girls and boys and everyone else :)

I already have a few posts but now I just noticed that I can intro' myself. What should I write? Maybe I should read first...

<reads lots of intros>

Geez, lots of intros in this forum. This internet-thing, I think it's a miracle. When I first had to face my "problems" about twentysome years ago there was no such thing. Only crude doctors who got no knowledge of this topic at all and most were disgusted anyway to deal with it correctly. I grew up in a communist country, you get the point :) Nowdays, the net helps a lot of people to smarten up themselves before they even talk to one of those monsters in their long white jackets with stethoscopes hanging down from their necks :) What's here on this site and on other similar ones, can truly be eye-opening and everyone should be thankful for that.

What you should know about me? Dunno. I don't think I have anything special to mention besides the usuals. I'm an MTF in her mid-thirties, living in Europe and on hormones for about 4 months. Can't wait for the magical six month mark when many of us stop the treatment. I don't think I will. I mean, I might have those thoughts in the future someday but I know that those are fueled by fear. And I already told Mr. Fear to get the hell out of my life once and for all and I really put my foot down on that one so I doubt he'll ever come back :)

I used to read Jung. Not anymore, but. Trying not to be a philosopher and trying not to advocate the guy but his works opened up my eyes to a lots of things. Mainly, the freedom of the spirit. Altough he hasn't used this expression I think. The spirit is the subconscious. And the more you can let it go, the more you can let it stream its ideas into your awaken mind the more free you will be and the less fear you will have. I think for a TS this is very important. Can we ever be normal? I doubt it. For others, I used to be a strange man and someday I'll be a strange woman :) So what. What's normal anyway? We won't ever know. We just do our best.

Can't wait to see the movie about Jung and Freud though. Come on, Cronenberg the director with Fassbender and Mortensen in the leads... mmmm :) Although I'm a bit afraid that they'll make an action movie with these actors and I just can't imagine my favorite philosopher jumping across rooftops to save his lover :)

Edit: And my nose is cold. I so hate when summer is over.

Hello Gina,
Glad to meet you.
One of my favorite female comedians said, "Normal is just a setting on the dryer."
So true. Normal is boring anyway so who would want to be that.
Welcome to Susan's

Welcome!

You are SO right about how difficult it was to get information about transness and treatment for it 20+ years ago.  The internet truly is miraculous:  You are right!  Enjoy this website with it's good information, good people and good spirit.

Quit hormone replacement therapy after 6 months?  If you're an older transwoman, your microcellular changes are only beginning to really take hold at 6 months into hormone replacement therapy.  It takes years on hormone replacement therapy for older gals to transition generally, but it's not necessary to do it that long if you don't want to.  It's all about what makes YOU happy.

Weirdness is generally not an issue here.  As long as people remain kind and courteous, we're cool with diversity and uniqueness.  Enjoy this website.

Believe.  Persist.  Arrive.    :D
